- C*-algebras, noncommutative geometry
- geometric and analytic group theory
- coarse geometry
Current research
Currently, Jan's research focuses on analytic constructions (e.g. representations) for groups that act on non-positively curved spaces, using their boundaries. On this topic he works with Kevin Boucher.
